Awww, not even Hiroshi in in the Queen Emeraldas OVA and this little lady is safe from jokes about their looks lol.
Atsuko may not be a pretty tol noodle lady like her sister, but she cute. Cuteness is just as nice as prettiness.
Wait... the landlady's name is Masu too!! Just like the cook in Harlock 1978!
And with this one shot epilogue, we now have a full name for her. Masu Yamata. All this time I figured she'd be named the same as her Harlock counterpart, but wasn't 100% sure. This at least confirms it!
Also, this third(?) generation descendant of Nobotta is named Orita Oyama. Kinda the opposite name meaning of Nobotta's name, the first kanji of his name meaning to ascend while the first kanji of Orita's name means to descend. Interesting little detail there, considering what this fella goes through here lol.
So this one shot is set in a future Earth, possibly in the 2050s or so? Everyone's setting off into space, Tokyo's filled with smog, futuristic tech everywhere, local shops Nobotta always went to have all closed down, and we follow the descendants of the main Otoko Oidon cast. Meanwhile Orita's looking on at what's going on and is both confused and lonely, wondering "Am I gonna die?" like his 1970s ancestor would often say.
It kinda reminds me a little of the Spongebob episode, Gone, where Spongebob finds himself all alone in Bikini Bottom lol.
#otoko oidon#leijiverse#leiji matsumoto#70s manga#nobotta oyama#７０年代漫画#漫画#男おいどん#大山昇太#松本零士#i'm not even kidding about the mention of dying here#both nobotta in oidon and adachi in ganso are often saying things like 'i'm gonna die!!' or 'am i gonna die?' sometimes lol#unless i'm missing something here#this one shot was wild from start to finish#yeah i'm kinda reading chapters of this manga in a random order at this point#because i skim through it wanting to capture pics of nobotta being a cute lil gremlin and then get distracted by the story#good reading practice at least lol#also a neat way to pick up some new or forgotten vocab#also i feel like this lowkey predicted the fact that all our tvs would be in widescreen with how ms. masu's tv is shaped here
The only live action movie Leiji Matsumoto ever directed… Don’t know where to find the whole movie besides getting a dvd of it, but did a study of the main protagonist, Adachi.
The manga it’s based on predates Otoko Oidon, which in turn predates Gun Frontier and Captain Harlock. Neat stuff.
